Chapter 46: Using Ice and Snow

Lu Song's pupils are always bright, and when he looks at people, there is always an illusion of deep affection.

This night, deep affection is not an illusion.

He took another deep breath, started from the beginning, and spoke slowly.

"Xiaocan, I like you. I have liked you for many years.

“I’ve been your tutor since you were very young… Of course, the relationship back then was different from what it is now.

"Actually, my life has been quite eventful these past few years. You know, going from one world to another completely different one. Flying through the mud and into the sky isn't exactly a pleasant experience. There were also many annoyances that came with not being used to it.

"Every time I was feeling down, I would think of you. I'd think, 'If only Xiaocan were here, he'd definitely make me smile again.'"

Zhuo Can, who is still a primary school student, is chubby and has no worries except studying every day.

When Lu Song first met him, he always thought that this kid was silly and happy every day.

But after staying there for a long time, it was hard for even the gloomy high school students not to be infected by his happiness.

Going to Zhuo Can's house became the only happy thing for Lu Song in his youth.

"When I grew up, I tried to look for you, but seeing you were doing well, I felt it wouldn't be a good idea to interrupt you. Until I came to Xinyue and saw you on the employee list."

Lu Song will never forget the day he reunited with Zhuo Can.

He felt that their fate was thin, but fate did not allow him to give up.

Holding on to his precious childhood memories, he tried to find a way to transfer Zhuo Can to his side.

At first I was very frustrated when I found out that the other person didn't remember me.

Later I found out that people who are attracted to each other don’t care whether they have any past relationship. Even if they meet again as two strangers, they can still repeat the same mistakes and gradually get closer.

It was during this daily interaction that Lu Song discovered that Zhuo Can was still as considerate and optimistic as he was when he was a child, and had a gentler and more stubborn tenacity than before.

This person was an important part of his life and one of the few sunny days in his childhood.

He is even more loved by him now.

"I didn't mean to... kiss you directly." Lu Song said this, clearing his throat in an attempt to hide the truth. "If you feel offended, then I apologize-" His tone changed, "But you are jealous, so I think you have feelings for me too." He paused and added hesitantly, "Right?"

Zhuo Can didn't answer.

Zhuo Can, who was caught off guard by a kiss and bombarded by a long and heartfelt confession, was completely stunned by the shock.

Not only was it his first kiss (it was his first kiss!!), it was also the first time he had ever been liked like that.

The person who did all this was actually Lu Song.

Lu Song is good in every way and is regarded as his life goal and role model.

Lu Song waved his five fingers in front of his eyes in amusement: "Are you okay? Stop being silly."

Zhuo Can suddenly came to his senses and almost choked himself: "I...you...I..."

"Are you really that surprised?" Lu Song asked, "Have you never felt it before?"

To say no is definitely a lie.

From the moment he was quickly promoted to supervisor, Zhuo Can could feel that Lu Song was different from others.

Later, he specially celebrated his birthday, and then frequently invited him to dinner. Lu Song was so good to Mian Li...

He is not a fool, how could he not notice it?

However, he had a deep-rooted belief that love always happened between opposite sexes and never dared to think in that direction.

That night, when everything unfolded before their eyes unexpectedly, and when the straightforward and bold Lu Songfengshui turned into the aggressive one, Zhuo Can, who was good at escaping problems, didn't know what to do.

The more panicked the reaction was, the more confident Lu Song became.

He wasn't impatient. "You don't have to give me an answer right away. Think about it carefully. I don't want you to agree out of emotion or surprise, and I don't want you to refuse because of unnecessary considerations."

Zhuo Can looked at him stupidly.

Lu Song touched his hair as he did to Mian Li, and smiled: "Now, let me exercise my boyfriend's rights in advance and take you home."

Zhuo Can was taken into the car in a daze, and Lu Song leaned over to help him fasten his seat belt as usual.

He smelled the faint scent of his cologne, and the dizziness that had not yet subsided became even stronger.

...That's not right.

Zhuo Can realized it later.

What does it mean to 'exercise your boyfriend's rights'?

Hasn't this guy been sending him home every day since a long time ago?

*

Deep in the cold shadows of the trees, under the snowy moonlight, Jiang Xiao watched all this quietly.

Two people got into the car, one on the left and one on the right, started the car, and gradually drove out of sight.

The love story in the night comes to a pause.

In God's long and boundless life, He has done many things for mortals.

Creation, creation of the world, salvation, and destruction.

But this was the first time that I contributed purely for their love.

If these two humans who were indulging in joy knew that the witness they had just received was not an ordinary colleague, but the God of Gods who controls all things, they would probably be speechless.

The street lights had long been turned off at this time, the garden was dim, everything was silent, and a gauze-like mist was hanging over the lake.

The canvas is hazy, but God sees clearly.

His blue eyes were filled with emotions that no one could fathom.

"He has found a home too. Are you relieved now?"

It is rare that when speaking a question, the corresponding question mark tone is used.

At first no one responded, as if the question was answered by itself.

After a while, there was a rustling in the bushes, and something pushed aside the sleeping leaves and flowers and walked towards God.

A small figure emerged from the darkness.

Mianli slowly walked behind the Father God.

In fact, He looks quite similar to God the Father, with delicate features and picturesque eyebrows and eyes. At first glance, He is a beauty.

It's just that it's still young and hasn't fully grown yet, so its outline is much softer than that of an adult, and it's still a soft little ball.

Only those eyes.

Apart from the eye colour, from the tips of his eyebrows to the corners of his eyes, one can already see that he is extremely similar to God the Father.

This is why Zhuo Can felt that Jiang Xiao's eyes were familiar when he first met him.

If Jiang Xiao is the blue holy statue carved out of ice and snow, then Mian Li is the caramel-filled glutinous rice cake made of ice cream.

The boy looked at the tall back of Father God and subconsciously wanted to hold His hand, just like he did with Cancan and other adults.

Although he refused to be touched by stupid mortals when he first met Zhuo Can, in fact, the young god was a child who loved physical contact very much.

Kiss, hug, lift up, everything is fine.

But God the Father is not them, and certainly would not agree to such an intimacy as “holding hands.”

Not to mention hugs and kisses.

To a certain extent, it is precisely because God was reluctant to give the necessary intimacy during his growth period that the young God is so eager for it.

Jiang Xiao looked down at Him.

"You've been away for so long, didn't the two humans who took care of you notice?"

Back to the period again.

Mianli knew that the "two humans" that Father God was referring to were not Zhuo Can and Lu Song who had just left, but Qi Rui and Xiao Hui who were supposed to take care of Him.

It was no secret to God that He stayed in their home.

In other words, everything He does is within the scope of God’s knowledge.

I had sneaked out a few times before to look for Cancan, and each time it caused a huge uproar, even to the point of calling the police.

Now Mian Li has learned a new trick, leaving behind his own shadow and pretending to sleep.

No one would disturb a sleeping child anyway.

When Jiang Xiao heard this, his voice sounded like a sigh.

"Divine power is not meant to deceive adults."

This is a very mysterious statement.

This "adult" may refer to humans or God himself.

God speaks, but never reveals it.

Mianli bit her lip, thinking that Father God was going to preach again.

God returned to the original topic: "That human will live well, you don't have to worry."

The figure of God gradually became transparent.

Before leaving, He said, go and say goodbye.

*

After being sent home, there was no clichéd lovemaking. They just said goodbye downstairs and went their separate ways.

But after Zhuo Can returned home, he tossed and turned in bed and couldn't fall asleep.

He really wants to see Mianli now and share the good news with the little guy.

...Well, considering he hasn't fully agreed yet, it's half good news.

He rolled around on the bed, sat up, and went to the WeChat group.

【Daily Life of Boarding Student Mian Xiaoli (3)】

He looked at the "3" at the end indicating the number of people and wondered if it would soon become "4".

When I imagined Lu Song joining the group chat, my face suddenly turned red.

Qi Rui and Xiao Hui are both night owls, and at this time they are probably still staying up late to see who can outlive them.

Zhuo Can typed the next line of words.

Waiwaiwai, are you asleep?

Zhizhi's Dad

? Why are you back?

Are you asking us or Xiaoli?

Taotao's mother

Xiaoli is already asleep. What happened?

Humble Xiaozhuo Online Brickwork

Oh, no, I just wanted to ask. If he wasn't asleep yet, I would go pick him up.

Zhizhi's Dad

[Smirk] How are you doing tonight? Tell me about it.

Humble Xiaozhuo Online Brickwork

…

Taotao's mother

I'm curious too.

Humble Xiaozhuo Online Brickwork

How come you also...

Forget it, you guys should go to bed early. I’ll come to pick up Li Li tomorrow.

Zhizhi's Dad

Hey hey hey wait!

What a coincidence! He's awake now. Don't come over here. I'll take you home.

Zhizhi's Dad

That's not right. Didn't you drive away my car?

Humble Xiaozhuo Online Brickwork

?????

Zhuo Can on the screen had a series of question marks in his mind, and Zhuo Can outside the screen was even more confused.

It was Lu Song who sent him back just now.

…Shit, there’s a big problem.

Qi Rui's car is still parked in the park parking lot!

You cannot stay overnight in the parking lot over there, otherwise it will be treated as illegal parking the next day and you must drive it back now.

Zhuo Can jumped up, feeling lucky that he didn't have to change into three layers of clothes in the summer. He grabbed his car keys, put on his shoes, and ran downstairs.

As the elevator was descending, he began to think that public transportation had already stopped and it would probably be difficult to call a taxi online.

If I had known earlier, I would have let Lu Song come later...

The elevator door opened.

Zhuo Can was caught off guard by his spontaneous thoughts just now: Did he just want Lu Song to give him a ride, or did he want to meet again after just a few dozen minutes of separation?

Does he really want to see Lu Song so much?

Zhuo Can tapped her head and the spring-like thoughts in her head. Just as she walked out of the corridor, she was stunned.

Lu Song’s car was still parked downstairs.

Lu Song leaned against the car and waited, the evening breeze ruffling his hair.

And Zhuo Can's panicked heart.

Lu Song was not surprised to see him appear, but smiled slightly.

"I had a feeling you would come see me again. So I kept waiting."

"It seems that I have waited for it."

Zhuo Can thought of many things at this moment.

I remember my childhood when the two of us spent one boring night after another around a table and a desk lamp.

I remember the leaves that happened to fall on my way back to the company after lunch one afternoon.

I remember the wind by the river and the candles after the power outage.

I remember that fleeting kiss not long ago.

Thinking back to the last second, I suddenly missed you.

The courage I had never felt in my life instantly filled my whole body with strength.

He ran towards him.

Run towards that person's open arms, run towards a brand new journey that brings the sweet past into the future.

"I do—I don't know what I do, but I do."

The author has something to say:

Congratulations to the two male guests for holding hands successfully——

God the Father is also a soft-hearted God.
